Candle Drop is a game about candles. But it is also about black holes, miniature suns, castle secrets, and a ton of hidden unlocks and things to discover! Choose your starting candle, drop down into the belly of a dark and moody castle, and drop more candles. Try to get their lights to line up to cause a massive explosion and earn some points! Visit the basement to explore character selection and skins, and go even deeper to chase all of the in-game achievements and unlocks! This game was the first game made by me and my good friend Curtis. It is the manifestation of our love for video games and my personal dream-come-true. Over a year of work and learning how to make it all and we have something new and unique, and something I couldn't be prouder to share with you. One of our biggest focuses was to give the game a soul. No overused mainstream basic graphics or gameplay. No relentless popup ads or in-game pay-to-win purchases. And no corners cut in the makings. We truly made something that we would play ourselves. And I hope you'll take the time to enjoy it, too. Thanks :) Note: Preview images from both iPhone and iPad versions are interchangeable.
